The One Where My Sister Moved In

August 8, 2016 By Laura

My baby sister and I never really lived together.

I left for college when she was 10.

It’s funny to think about.  My baby sister, Madison, was still a baby when I left for college.  We all still lived in Georgia.  It’s not like we didn’t see each other, but that’s a lot different that sharing space.

I had to laugh when this popped up in my Timehop last week:

Living with the baby

She came to San Diego to vacation/house sit for us 2 weeks ago and now here she is!  I swear we’re generally not impulsive people.

The plan is for her to stay with Vegas and me for 2 months while she looks for a job and an apartment.  However, she’s threatening never to leave…

Truth be told, I’m enjoying having her here.  It’s fun to see her as an adult!  I mean… she just walked by and asked if I needed to put any clothes in the delicate cycle. 🙂

I also LOVE having a running buddy.

We’ve already taken her to her first Padres game.  She was impressed with the best baseball stadium in the US (according to USA Today).  Truth be told, I think she was most impressed that we could buy a bottle of rosé to drink at our seats.

There have been a few toasts, obviously.

Sisters toast

We need to get in the habit of cooking at home more.  It’s been fun to take her to some of our favorite places in the first week though!

Yesterday’s brunch was so delicious and filling (and late) that we ended up having popcorn, hummus, and veggies for dinner while watching the Olympics.  #sorryimnotsorry

My FAVORITE story is about her “date” with her first San Diego douche bag.  He asked her to go boating, invited her for lunch prior to the ride, and then asked her to join his roommate and friends for grilled pizzas at home for dinner… and then he REQUESTED MONEY for the expense.

Literally.  He send a Venmo request.  I can’t make this up.

Oh… and did I mention she spent $20 on beer to share???

I’m SO glad I don’t ever have to date again.

Having more family on the west coast is marvelous.  Now we just need to convince mom to move…

What’s the biggest douche move you’ve ever encountered on a date?

Have you ever living with a sibling as an adult?

    SD is surfer douchebag mecca. Especially in the Pacific Beach area. I was recently dating a guy for a month (coincidentally he was born and raised in Pacific Beach) and then I found out he has a girlfriend. But he’s been trying to hang out with me “as friends” still for the past week. Such a douchebag! Tell your sis to hang in there.

    I had a creeper ask me if I wanted to go smoke pot in his van on a first date.

      August 10, 2016 at 2:23 AM

      Did you say yes? 😉

    August 8, 2016 at 4:26 PM

    Thats awesome! I am sure it feels great to have some family there now! Douche bags… i count my lucky stars every day that i don’t have to date. I love my husband but even he has his douche moments… makes me cringe at the thought of real dbags.

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:28 AM

      That cracked me up. I guess we ALL have our moments. 😉

    I love my brother, but I don’t think we could live together as adults!

    What an ass! Geez I can’t believe the nerve of some people. I feel so lucky that I fell in love and married the first man I dated!
    I could spend a holiday with my brother and have a great time. Living together, eh probably not. He makes such a mess! ha!

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:35 AM

      You ARE lucky! It took me a while, but I’m so glad to have found the one.

  10. Allie says

    August 9, 2016 at 5:58 AM

    Love that you have your sister to live with!! I lived with my brother a few times after college and it was an absolute BLAST!!!
    Cannot believe the douche-baggery of the dating scene. I’m with you and SO SO SO happy I never have to date again!!!

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:48 AM

      I think it would be so fun to have a brother to live with! Not that we don’t act like little boys half the time… 😉

  11. Susie @ Suzlyfe says

    August 9, 2016 at 6:39 AM

    Can I move in?
    I am terrible, but I’m so glad that I am married. I just could not even deal with dating. I got so lucky with Alex, and without much effort!

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:49 AM

      Sure! We need to get a pullout couch…

  12. Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says

    August 9, 2016 at 8:10 AM

    I don’t think I could ever live with either of my sisters as adults. (I hope they don’t read your blog LOL). Looks like you are having a blast enjoy!

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:50 AM

      Shhhhh… I won’t tell!

    August 9, 2016 at 9:48 AM

    WOAH, that boyfriend experience sounds unpleasant… That’s so awesome that you and your sister get to spend time together and that you are such good friends. I love that you get to go running together.

    LMAO on your sister’s first date with a San Diego douchebag.

      They exist in every state. Yay married life!

  15. Heather McClees says

    August 9, 2016 at 1:39 PM

    So cool your sister moved in-yay! I always wanted a sister. Guess it’s too late for that, huh? 😉

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:58 AM

      I’m really lucky to have to of them (thought I didn’t think so as a kid… shhhh!).

    Awww, I’m looking forward to meeting your sister sometime soon! My sister and little brother (with his fiancee and baby!) both moved back into my parents’ house recently, and I’m staying on the east coast for 2 weeks.. so it’s been funny “living” with them again for a bit! We keep joking that it’s like childhood all over again, minus our other brother staying here.

    • Laura says

      August 10, 2016 at 2:59 AM

      I can’t wait for you two to meet. I think we’d all have a great time SUPing and acai bowl eating!

      Girllllll… I’m still recovering from the last drive. Aren’t you coming here this weekend???

      • GiGi Eats says

        August 10, 2016 at 3:48 PM

        I am but sadly I don’t think I am going to have any time to have fun! 🙁 Well with youuuuuu I mean! haha!

  19. Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says

    August 11, 2016 at 1:59 PM

    OMG I hope she didn’t pay that douche!! If you cooked like that for me, I would never move out either haha

    • Laura says

      August 11, 2016 at 4:47 PM

      She did… and then sent him a request for the beer. HA!

    Sounds like you and your sister and having a blast! I would love to live with one of my sisters- I think it would be so fun! Some guys seriously are something else. Ive actually heard a few stories of guys using venmo to ask for money after the date?? Its gross. At least you get to share in her stories and laugh about the ridiculousness!

    • Laura says

      August 16, 2016 at 12:13 PM

      REALLY?! I can’t believe any guy would do that. I just rad this to my sister and she said “Venmo is killing chivalry!” Ha!
